Tip #1 Chill the entire Dragon Fruit. What this does is it really kicks up the cooling effect

Tip #2 If you are using red-fleshed dragon fruit, the juice has a bright magenta color which can stain the other fruit. To prevent this from happening, rinse and dry to remove the color on the surface or just evenly distribute it on top after you mix with the dressing

Tip #3 Right before serving, drizzle the dressing on top and gently toss when coating. There will be a light glaze that forms the sugars that mingle with the juices.

Tip #4 : You can add toasted coconut to be coupled with the tropical flavor.

Tip #5 Choosing the perfect dragon fruit for your bowl comes by gently pressing your finger against the skin of the dragon fruit. Similar to an avocado or mango, a perfectly ripe fruit will give slightly to the pressure. If you can press your fingers into the fruit too easily, choose another dragon fruit. The perfect color should be bright red with no brown spots.

Tip #6 : When you scoop the dragon fruit out with a baller, it is important to leave a layer as the dragon fruit skin tends to get soggy once more weight is added to it

Tip #7 : If you use the skin as a cup for your dragon fruit salad, trim off the long green shotts so that the fruit can sit upright and all the fruit doesn’t start to fall out

Reminders

Only mix the dressing when you are ready to serve. This prevents the salad from being over watery. Dragon fruit has a high water content so it is best to mix the salad with the dressing when you are ready to serve
